Default Bumper Frunk Button

My dealer had to take off the front bumper cover during PDI and noticed today the front button does not open the frunk. Rather than drive an hour back does anyone know if I remove the frunk tub would I have access to the connector for the button? I suspect they did not plug it in when they put the bumper cover on.

Not by removing the frunk the radiator will be in the way but should be able to by removing the splash shields on the underside.

Look inside the driver front wheel well liner, forward part. Best way is to take the wheel off for access, remove the required screws to pull it back.
There are two plugs in there that must be disconnected to completely remove the front bumper. I believe one of them is for the Frunk button.
